Landlord and trade work in Van
If you manage property in Van, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Van use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we handle bath resealing in Van
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Resealing in Van: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need bath resealing in Van?
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
How we price bath resealing
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Van and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
